For half a century, Michael Jacksons music has been an indelible part of our cultural consciousness. Landmark albums such as Off the Wall and Thriller shattered records, broke racial barriers, amassed awards, and set a new standard for popular music. While his songs continue to be played in nearly every corner of the world, however, they have rarely been given serious critical attention. The first book dedicated solely to exploring his creative work, Man in the Music guides us through an unparalleled analysis of Jacksons recordings, album by album, from his trailblazing work with Quincy Jones to his later collaborations with Teddy Riley, Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis, and Rodney Jerkins. Drawing on rare archival material and on dozens of original interviews with the collaborators, engineers, producers, and songwriters who helped bring the artists music into the world, Jackson expert and acclaimed cultural critic Joseph Vogel reveals the inspirations, demos, studio...

PRAISE FOR JOSEPH VOGELS MAN IN THE MUSIC Joseph Vogel has brilliantly cracked - photo 1
PRAISE FOR JOSEPH VOGELS
MAN IN THE MUSIC

Joseph Vogel has brilliantly cracked the DNA, the code of the work, the artistry of Michael Joseph Jackson. I want to stress the word artistry because people have forgotten or never understood thats what MJ is, thats what he worked at day and night. This is the book I have been long awaiting, a pointed, intelligent dissection of an epic body of work. Vogel breaks it down album by album, song by song. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

SPIKE LEE

Dont be surprised if it makes you go back and listenwith a whole new outlook on the King of Pop.

ZACK OMALLEY GREENBURG,

This is the kind of book about Michael Jacksons music, artistry, and creativity that really needed to be writtenand Joseph Vogel has done it and done it very well. I am absolutely floored by Joes in-depth research and perceptive insight into what made Michael the one-of-a-kind, record-breaking King of Pop. Andamazingly enougheven I learned a lot!

Dedicated to

Prince Michael,

Paris,

and

Prince Michael II

Deep inside, I feel that this world we live in is really a big, huge, monumental, symphonic orchestra. I believe that in its primordial form all of creation is sound and that its not just random sound, that its music.Music governs the rhythm of the seasons, the pulse of our heartbeats, the migration of birds, the ebb and flow of ocean tides, the cycles of growth, evolution, and dissolution. Its music, its rhythm. And my goal in life is to give the world what I was lucky to receive: the ecstasy of divine union through my music and my dance.

MICHAEL JACKSON

If Im a musical architect then let me build monuments with sound.

CONTENTS
PREFACE TO THE 2019 VINTAGE EDITION

Michael Jacksons influence on popular culture is difficult to overstate. His sound, style, dancing, and trademarks are all over our contemporary landscapein the United States and around the world. From his days at Motown Records with the Jackson 5 to the barrier-breaking success of Thriller to his ill-fated This Is It comeback concert series, he was a unique, ambitious, singular talent.

Like many kids who came of age in the 80s, I grew up with Jacksons music. I listened to Beat It on my Walkman; I blasted Man in the Mirror for inspiration; I wore out my VHS tape of Michael Jackson: The Legend Continues, mesmerized by his iconic performance of Billie Jean in Motown 25. As a teenager, I came to appreciate him on a different level. Songs like Stranger in Moscow spoke to my loneliness; tracks like They Dont Care About Us spoke to my sense of social justice; and anthems like Earth Song spoke to my concern for the future of our planet. For me, Jacksons music was far differentand more interestingthan traditional pop fare. The subject matter, the scope, the depth, the emotions all went far beyond typical pop sentiments. Yet, strangely, for such an important artist, very little had been written about his creative work prior to his death in 2009.

That was particularly true of books on the icon. Compared to artists of similar impactElvis Presley, the Beatles, Bob Dylanthe gap was striking. There were two books by the artist himselfthe autobiography Moonwalk (1988) and Dancing the Dream
